(...) There's already a fix for this posted to the PT, but yes colors above 16 should not be used for Quads, Triangles, or Lines only Type 1 lines (Subparts). (...) It's under the Parts Tracker Reference. Here's the link: (URL) (22 years ago, 24-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I do have these parts, but I'm confused by your statement of incompatibility. The pins on the plug (s\2775s01.dat) are modelled with a diameter of 7LDu. The pin holes in the end of the motor (s\6216mb.dat) are also modelled with a diameter of (...) (22 years ago, 24-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad)

For those with a high speed internet connection: (URL) (2.4 M). This is the same model, but it is colored (so it is easier to see). It has about twice as many angles, but it still has the same view bounds. James (22 years ago, 24-Dec-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
